lets give credit where its due. the wazungu's were damn good at managing and building things. for god's sake we are still using the same railway built over 100 years ago! i'd like to see the Thika super highway lasting that long. look at the old buildings and desginated gardens created in cbd such as barclays building on moi avenue, uhuru park. if left to africans and wahindis that would a be a concrete jungle with cheap constructed offices and apartments. if we were still under colonialism i bet nairobi would be a much better cleaner city. i would not mind a bit of discrimination if i had proper roads, street lights, hospitals, schools and a functional system of life. despite their problems, harare in zimbabawe is still a better city than nairobi as wazungus had a chance to develop it till the problems 12 years ago. kidero should be sent to europe/ america for training.
